San Rafael council considers recreational marijuana business ban, district elections

The San Rafael City Council meets at 7 p.m. Monday at City Hall, 1400 Fifth Ave., to discuss district elections and to take a vote on a policy that would ban businesses from selling recreational marijuana in the city.

City Council votes 5-0 to accept staff report on district elections. Final vote to be Dec. 18.

San Rafael may be the next target of a legal challenge demanding the city switch from at-large elections for City Council seats to district elections in order to avoid what the potential challenger calls “racially polarized voting.”
